Where everything is perfect | B |
No hate no war no injustice | C |
Prevail only peace and happiness | D |
A mother is in mourning | E |
Her schizophrenic daughter | F |
Slipped and fell and broke her leg | G |
No nothing fatal But alas | H |
That would have been better | F |
Who would hire her now | I |
Who would marry a cripple | J |
For bones may heal and scars may fade | K |
But memories don t and the fact remains | L |
That she slipped and fell and broke her leg | G |
Oh what a shame it was | M |
To be the mother of a lass | H |
Who slipped and fell and broke her leg | G |
Oh What a shame it was | M |
- | |
In their neighbour s house the father weeps | N |
Filled with sorrow and grief | O |
His bipolar son accidentally had | P |
Burnt his hand while cooking for a friend | Q |
No nothing fatal But alas | H |
That would have been better | F |
His life was ruined he couldn t face society | R |
How could he | R |
For when wounds heal and scars fade | K |
memories don t and the fact remains | L |
that he accidentally had burnt his hand | S |
Oh what a shame it was | M |
To be the father of a lad | P |
Who accidentally had burnt his hand | S |
Oh What a shame it was | M |

In a less confusing dimension | A |
Where everything made sense | T |
where revolution was a daily phenomenon | U |
and people were tolerant | V |
A mother is in mourning | E |
Her schizophrenic daughter | F |
Slipped and fell and broke her leg | G |
No nothing fatal But alas | H |
That would have been better | F |
Who would hire her now | I |
Who would marry a cripple | J |
For bones may heal and scars may fade | K |
But fragile the mind and brain remain | W |
The fact is she is mentally crippled | X |
Oh what a shame it was | M |
To be the mother of a lass | H |
Whose mind bore the brunt | V |
Of a chemical imbalance in her brain | W |
Oh What a shame it was | M |

The less confusing dimension | A |
I m sure it sounds familiar | F |
But the parallel dimension | A |
To me it sounds confusing | E |
To you too if it sounds ridiculous | D |
Then tell me why | Y |
Why show off your battle scars | Z |
But hide the pain trauma and distress | A2 |
Why care for just your body | R |
While neglecting your brain and mind | B2 |
And in doing so pride why do you find | B2 |
- | |
Superficial wounds with ease they heal | C2 |
The deepest cuts they need more care and time | D2 |
Without attention they worsen | A |
Over time turning into poison | A |
That eats you from within | E2 |
- | |
None of it is your fault | F2 |
It s nothing to be ashamed of | G2 |
unlike what they ve told you | H2 |
It s nothing that can t heal | C2 |
It s not irreparable damage | I2 |
It s a mere wound on your brain and mind | B2 |
- | |
Now would you be so kind | B2 |
To let heal the battle wounds | J2 |
You had kept so well hidden | A |
No not just the ones on your skin | E2 |
Also the ones on your brain and mind | B2 |
